4.0

Another kind of us-vs-them story with a very character-driven premise. This would be a good choice for those who liked Where The Crawdads Sing, but want a more diverse and complex read.

This book really tackles some tough territory in a way that feels accessible. The issues of class and race are presented without expectation from the author that people *already know* how these things work.

I enjoyed this one.
